This is very hard to fathom, but yes that is correct. Existance can only be defined as what is observed by the observer inside the container. The container can't and doesn't maintain creation outside of itself, it doesn't need to do that, but it can and does move things in and out of the container at will, including people. If you miss someone for long enough what usually happens?? You bring them back into the container to enjoy.

I think the container is actually greater than what the observer can perceive. The container is not dependent from the observer's senses (hear, sight etc.).
Thus, I/We are more than what I am aware to be,
even if I identify with the perceived container (I am more than my body/mind field of perception). If the loved partner or anyone else leaves the perceived container, he doesn't cease to exist. He just cease to be observed (or perceived) by the observer.
